Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The ELM 5-23MM qualifies as a parametric equivalent substitute based on the following critical matching parameters:

• Series Continuity: Both components belong to the ELM 5 series, ensuring design family consistency
• LED Type: Both utilize T1 LED specifications
• Material Composition: Both are constructed from PVC
• Color: Both are Black
• Compliance Standards: Both are ROHS3 Compliant with MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited)
• Length Tolerance: The dimensional variance between 0.915" (23.24mm) and 0.910" (23.11mm) represents a 0.05mm difference, which falls within acceptable mechanical tolerances for LED standoff mounting applications

All substitute relationships are determined by matching the specified electrical and mechanical parameters without modification to the original design requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the ELM 5-915 and ELM 5-23MM are classified as Active products with current manufacturing support. Both components satisfy ROHS3 compliance requirements and carry an MSL rating of 1, indicating no special moisture handling precautions are required during storage or installation. The parameter alignment across mechanical dimensions, material composition, and regulatory certifications qualifies the ELM 5-23MM as a suitable functional substitute for the ELM 5-915 in design applications requiring T1 LED standoff components within the ELM 5 series.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What is the primary basis for substitution between ELM 5-915 and ELM 5-23MM? A: Substitution eligibility is established through matching the ELM 5 series designation, T1 LED type, PVC material, black color specification, and equivalent compliance certifications (ROHS3 and MSL 1).

Q: Are there mechanical compatibility considerations between these parts? A: Both components are designed for vertical mounting with identical 3MM footprint specifications. The length difference of 0.05mm (0.915" versus 0.910") represents a negligible tolerance variance in standard LED standoff mounting applications.

Q: Do both parts have identical regulatory compliance? A: Yes. Both the ELM 5-915 and ELM 5-23MM are ROHS3 Compliant with MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), indicating equivalent regulatory status and moisture sensitivity handling requirements.

Q: Can these parts be interchanged in existing designs without documentation updates? A: Substitution does not require design modifications due to parameter equivalence. However, documentation should reflect the actual part number used in assembly records.

Q: What packaging format is used for these components? A: Both components are supplied in Bag packaging format.
